If that's what you did this time, it didn't work...This e-mail you sent did 
not show up threaded with the rest in my email client (KMail).

This is why I made a separate e-mail address for the mythtv list.  I have them 
downloaded, but it's not mixed in with all my other stuff.  The other method 
is to set up filters.  Just your mail client to filter all messages from the 
mailing list "mythtv-users at mythtv.org" into a different folder.  This should 
be relatively easy unless you use a primitive client like pine.

P.S. It didn't, which is why I replied ;)
